TASER’s Top Paw

TASER’s Top Paw Custom training plans unique to each dog. Catered to help owners teach their canines. Here at TASER's Top Paw, we strive to train at your canine's comfort level.
(9)

We offer in-home training, where most canines spend the majority of their time. This provides quality reassurance that we are seeing them at the least stressful level. This helps to aide in the training process so that we can fully ask them the command that needs preformed. A canine who is stressed is often harder to communicate with. Signs of stress and body behavior is thoroughly pointed out dur

ing each lesson. Therefore, owners will know more intellect on how to read their canine. It is important to remember no dog is trained the same as another. No canvas paints the same, but we can still achieve a Class A canine!

It has been two years since I gathered up the courage to launch my very own business. From the clients and their pets, to my coworkers, to my own family and friends, every single amount of support I receive will never not be grateful appreciated. I owe a hug ‘thank you’ to each and every person who likes, shares, reposts, and refers my business. These last two years would’ve never been possible without you all.

In honor of this anniversary, I will soon be launching a merchandise store for all of your TASER’s Top Paw needs! T-Shirts, long sleeves, crewneck, hoodies, kids’ tees, it’s all coming your way! Stay tuned🐾

🐾 TOP PAW SPOTLIGHT 🐾

Meet Morty! Morty is a 3 y/o, rescued Cattle Dog mix. Morty just finished up his 4 week Behavioral course, and he crushed it. He struggles with “protecting” his mom from other people, and little dogs aren’t his mojo. We discussed heavily on breed mentality, breed specific enrichment, focused on working his neutrality in different settings, exposed him to a different setting to practice obedience, helped mom implement proper corrections and praise, and even got him comfortable wearing a muzzle.

Stay tuned for my next post where I share Morty’s field trip to Home Depot!

🐾 TOP PAW SPOTLIGHT 🐾

Meet Ruby and Daisey! Ruby is 2 while Daisey is 4, and both are Pit mixes. These are your average antagonizer/instigator sister duo. While they both have complete opposite training styles and motivations, they are prime examples that even dogs in the same household aren’t trained the same.

These gals are in training for impulse control, learning to settle while adjusting to an off switch, and Ruby needs some help with her leash walks. Both of these gals and their family of five are crushing it already!

🐾 Welcome! As I make my way back from maternity leave, I am now accepting new owners and their dogs. Allow me to introduce myself.

🐾 My name is Kamryn and I’m the sole owner and head trainer at TASER’s Top Paw. I am originally from a small town in southern Illinois, about twenty-five minutes outside St. Louis. At 18, I decided to launch a business in hopes to help end toxic stigmas in the dog industry.

🐾 I offer balanced training unique to each dog. I use a variety of tools to include slip leashes, prong collars, and E-Collars. I stay as positive as possible to keep all of our training fun and fresh. 

🐾I’m a mom to a one month old little girl, Wrenleigh, and you can often find my significant other, Jordin, right by my side at each of your lessons being my right hand man.

🐾My pack consists of different breeds, different personalities, different assets, and most importantly-my best pals. Taser was my very first personal dog whom I took through dog training school, and the very reason I started this business.

🐾I’ve worked in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, an animal hospital-you could say I’ve seen every side to the pet industry. Canine behavior has always been my calling. I offer in home training to work at your canine’s comfort level. No canvas paints the same, but we can still achieve a Class A canine. I’m here to help each and every one of you, and I cannot wait to do so!

Meet Smokey! Smokey is a three month old, Schnauzer Poodle mix. Man oh man, this pup is a spit fire! Smokey is finishing up lessons left over from his older brother, Jake, to lay some puppy foundation. With puppy foundation, we work on sit, down, place, some leash skills, and most importantly-no jumping! He is a great way to wrap up clients before starting maternity leave!

Meet Pepper and Charlie! This sibling duo comes from a local, foster based rescue. They are Cavalier-Poodle mixes and almost two! Their owners were sent my way from a previous client when they needed help with some social cues, anxiety, and brushing up on some obedience. They started off with the Basics package, and they are killing it. No matter what I throw their way, these guys crush every obstacle!

✰ TOP PAW SPOTLIGHT ✰

Meet Liam! Liam is a very shy and reserved Schnauzer/Poodle mix. Liam came from a local, foster based rescue with an unknown story. What we do know is that Liam is not confident with many things other than eating plastic toys-especially Barbie dolls! When he presented with a possible blockage at a vet appointment, his mom got ahold of me to work on better management for his health and well being. Liam is taking on the Basics to focus on how to “be a dog” without destroying things and building his confidence to where he isn’t so anxious. Each week his confidence is getting stronger. I could not be more happy with the work everyone has put in, including his five year old human sister!

Meet Luna! Luna is your typical Shiba Inu puppy going through her adolescent phase. Luna has a mix of confident issues that are nothing short of situational. She also shows reactivity towards dogs larger than her especially her housemate. We started off with the Basics to get her started, and the improvement from herself and her owner are astounding! I cannot say enough good things about these guys!

Meet Oliver! Oliver is a Goldendoodle who needed help refining his basic skills, and there is not enough good things I can say about this boy! His parents wanted his jumping and distractions on walks to come to a minimum, and they chose our Basics package. To say he is crushing it, that would definitely be an understatement! Proud of their hard work and dedication!

We are officially ten days out from CHRISTMAS!!

So what does that mean? Well for some it might be an exciting time, but for those in the pet industry-it’s a very nerve racking time.

Here’s the deal: in the next few weeks, puppies are going to be exploited left and right as Christmas presents. Quite frankly, most of those puppies are going to end up in shelters before even becoming six months old. Reasons being: people fall short on money, people don’t have “enough time,” or they end up becoming tired of the responsibility.

Listen I too, was at a point where after I graduated training school, I felt like I never had enough money to even breathe. It was real, raw emotion, but I had Taser and that is honestly what got me through all of that. I too, also felt like I never had enough time, but even a ten minute session with Taser was enough to make her entire day. That is what kept me going. Sometimes, that was enough to make me forget about everything bad in the world. I too, have been tired of the responsibility. Truth is, we all get burned out, but I know I wouldn’t be who I am without the dogs that have taught me so much of what I know now.

People like myself got into this industry to help each and every one of you. If I can own three dogs-two being working dogs, still find time to train them between two jobs AND running this business, focus on my family and social life, oh and have I mentioned I have a baby on the way-it’s fully possible you are able to keep that sweet little puppy you got as a gift that turned into a lifetime commitment. Let me help you figure out how!

✰ TOP PAW SPOTLIGHT ✰

Meet Gus! Gus is a Staffy mix through and through. His owners got ahold of me due to Gus having a reactive side. When they first adopted Gus, he had already approached them immediately barking and being stand offish. He continued this approach and turned it into being “owner protective” in his eyes. Well you guys, after only three lessons we’ve officially broke his protective approach. I am so proud of this guy, his owners, and all of their hard work!

✰ ONE YEAR OF TTP ✰

there’s simply no words to describe how grateful i am to even say i’m celebrating one year of this business. this has been the roughest and most rewarding year of my life. i’d like to state yet again something i said a few months ago.

i built this business to help end so many toxic stigmas in the pet industry, and to help owners better understand their canines.

i believe in a lot of things that are deemed toxic in the dog world. i believe balanced training is useful if done right. i believe genetics play a huge role in dog behavior. i believe that not every dog can be rescued, and not every family should own a “rescue” dog. i believe that adopting is still shopping. i believe that most people know very little about their dog’s body behavior and language.

what i don’t believe in is the fact that there are “perfect” dogs out there. i don’t believe in catering to your dog. i don’t believe every dog should be roam free. i don’t believe in dogs never having to be in a crate. i don’t believe reactive dogs are bad dogs. i don’t believe that “mutts” are deemed any less trainable than a pure bred.

at the end of the day, we all have an opinion. i started this crazy journey with every intention to open the eyes of dog owners, and to help them understand everything there is to know. i can honestly say that i wouldn’t trade what i do for anything else. i’m happy you’re here, and i would love to help each and every one of you!

thank you to the endless amount of support i’ve received from each of you. here’s to my girls, my clients, my critics, and myself. we are just getting started🫶🏼

Meet Jake! Jake is a four year old Great Pyrenees/Lab mix. Jake’s owner first described him as anxious, even from the time she got him as a teeny baby. Reading his body language tells us when he seems “anxious,” he just simply has no impulse control. Jake is taking on our Basics package to use his outstanding, already known obedience and mixing it with impulse and boundaries. Seriously would steal this ham in a heart beat.

Yesterday, I featured some of the trainees on our Instagram story! It was a hot one yesterday, but everyone was a trooper. Extremely happy with everyone’s progress!

1.) Loaded up the shepherds and headed to St. Charles to work in the arena.
2.) Met with Charlie and practiced recalls with and without dog distraction. We also practiced leash coordination.
3.) Joey showed off his place skills after only a week. We also introduced leash structure, and evaluated his body behavior against another dog.
4.) Bennett was exposed to noises that are rather scary to him. By the end of the lesson, mom, dad, and the cheese were most important.
5.) Ended the night with Zoey! Worked her recall and leave it with a dog present. By the end of the lesson, she didn’t care about the other dog across the street or even 20 feet from her.

✰ TOP PAW SPOTLIGHT ✰

Meet Bennett! Bennett was rescued by his dad about 4 years ago, but the past few years have been a bit rocky. Bennett has become unsure about a lot of different situations that involve “protecting” his dad. At the same time, Bennett’s body behavior reads ‘unsure and not confident.’ Implementing simple rules and applying structure has already started turning gray skies blue after the first lesson. So excited to help this guy and his family!

Meet Athena! Athena is a 6 month old pit bull, who has already pulled on the heart strings. After the first lesson, Athena is already holding down-stays for several minutes. Athena is taking on the Basics package to help her learn how to be a proper puppy! She is also quite the jumper, but is already showing signs that the unruly behavior will soon be diminished. Cannot wait to watch her progress!

✰ RECALL ✰

Let’s talk recall. Having reliable recall training is one of the most important basic obedience skills. It’s simple: Safety. Having the ability to call your dog so you can prevent a number of dangerous and life-threatening situations. Being hit by a car, running away, roaming off-trail, approaching an aggressive dog, interacting with wildlife, and engaging in dog fights at the dog park are just a few situations solid recall can help you avoid overall.

Interested in off leash and recall abilities for your dog, let us help!

Congratulations to the fastest learner, Otto, on his graduation this week! This one tugged on the heart strings a lot since he was always so eager to learn and try new things! His mom put in the work and it shows. He now takes trips to the hospital during the week, gets off leash freedom, and has shown training is fun for him.

If you see a person with a reactive dog help them out.
Cross the street or give them space.

If you've never had a leash reactive dog, congrats!
All breeds, all sizes and all age dogs can be leash reactive. These are not "bad dogs" or "untrained" dogs. They are simply dogs with some big feelings.
They may be scared of your dog, they may feel frustrated by their leash, they may be in pain, they may have a negative experience with seeing other dogs while out on leash.
These dogs need more space.
Help out by giving some space, stop throwing a ball until you are further away and if you are in a park or other public space where leashes are required, leash your dog.

Remember, dogs that have big feelings on their leash do not need punishment, no matter the breed or size.
They need to feel safe with the person on the other end of the leash and the people and dogs around them.
